Bill Maher has tested positive for coronavirus.

In a tweet from the official "Real Time with Bill Maher" account, it was announced that the 65-year-old comedian has tested positive for the novel virus, resulting in Friday's May 14 taping of his show to be canceled.

"Bill tested positive during weekly staff PCR testing for COVID," read the announcement. "He is fully vaccinated and as a result is asymptomatic and feels fine."

The statement added that the show's production has "taken every precaution following CDC guidelines."

"No other staff or crew members have tested positive at this time," the statement assured. "The show will be rescheduled at a later date."

Reps for the star did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

As he often is, Maher has been vocal about his thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic, recently slamming blue states for keeping schools closed.

BILL MAHER BLASTS DEMOCRATS' NEW ‘MORALITY KICK: ‘WE SUCH THE FUN OUT OF EVERYTHING’

In his closing monologue in April, Maher took aim at the media's "panic porn" during the pandemic, citing a Dartmouth study showing that "nearly 90 percent" of U.S. national media coverage was negative in comparison to other countries even as conditions were getting better.

"[Democrats] also have a greatly exaggerated view of the danger of COVID to and the mortality rate among children, all of which explains why today the states with the highest share of schools that are still closed are all blue states," Maher lamented. "So if the right-wing media bubble has to own things like climate change denial, shouldn't liberal media have to answer for 'How did your audience wind up believing such bunch of crap about COVID?'"

Maher also pointed to a Gallup survey that showed the vast majority of Democrats incorrectly overestimate the probability of being hospitalized from COVID, with 41 percent believing it's at least 50 percent while only 10 percent of Democrats correctly said that the probability is only 1-to-5 percent while 26 percent of Republicans said the same, stressing that Democrats were "wildly off on this key question."

"When all of our sources for medical information have an agenda to spin us, yeah, you wind up with a badly misinformed population, including on the left," Maher told viewers. "Liberals often mock the Republican misinformation bubble ... but what about liberals? You know, the high-information, by-the-science people?"

A true vaccine prevents one from getting a virus, but somehow that gets lost in the translation between an attenuating injection and true vaccine.

He's not alone, it has become trendy, soon all those in Hollywood will have been fully vac. and test post.

8 members of the New York Yankees have tested positive, after being fully vaccinated.

So after being FULLY vaccinated go get tested for covid it comes back pos shelter in place for 2 weeks, It's a new thing.

But it doesn't say anything about the vaccine, cuz you need the vaccine, go get one now. [/sarc

Anytime a liberal idea does not work, it is because there needs to be more of it.

Gun control- The huge number of gun control laws in cities like Chicago where gun crime is the highest are that way because not enough places have such strict gun laws. They never explained why these places with lax gun control laws don't have the problems that Chicago has with gun violence but I digress..

Bill Clintons Midnight Basketball program did not lower teen age crime rates, it was because they should have done more of it.

No one rides public busses in most working areas. It is because they need more of them to go to more places....

People are still in poverty after the fed gov spending trillions on anti poverty programs over the last 50 years. They clearly need to hand out more free money.

States with strong lockdowns, mask requirements and other fascist measures in place have higher death rates per capita than free states like FL because people are ignoring their mask mandates and not remaining locked down. They need stricter enforcement and more Kompliance.

Since people are still getting the virus after getting jabbed it clearly means they need additional jabbing, probably monthly with strict passport enforcement to ensure compliance.
